Custom Hardwood Flooring
We design and manufacture custom wide plank hardwood flooring tailored to specific project requirements. Our process begins with material selection from FSC-certified, exotic, or reclaimed sources, followed by precise milling to project specifications. Clients can choose from over 50 base colors and customize patterns, textures, and finishes through advanced techniques like hand scraping, wire brushing, and cerusing. This service caters to both residential and commercial clients seeking unique flooring solutions that combine aesthetic appeal with durability.
Historic Restorations
Specializing in preserving architectural heritage, we recreate antique floor appearances and restore historic wood surfaces. Our expertise includes marquetry and parquetry repairs, custom medallion creation, and precise color/finish matching for period-accurate restorations. The service addresses moisture acclimation issues and provides maintenance protocols for historic wood floors, serving clients with heritage properties or conservation projects requiring authentic material preservation and modern performance standards.
Finishing Services
We offer comprehensive finishing solutions including low-VOC and no-VOC options like waterborne polyurethane, tung oil, and hard wax oil. Our specialists apply custom color formulations and texturing techniques such as distressing, fuming, and French bleaching to achieve desired aesthetics. The service includes both prefinished and site-finished applications, with expertise in resolving moisture-related issues and ensuring optimal durability for residential and commercial environments through proper finish selection and application methodology.
Installation Services
Our expert installation team handles complex projects using floating, nail-down, or glue-down systems suitable for various subfloors. We specialize in parquet installation, special medallions, and patterned designs while addressing acclimation and moisture control requirements. The service includes sound control systems for multi-story buildings and specialized installation for walls, ceilings, and architectural elements, ensuring precise execution of both modern and traditional wood surface applications.
CEU Courses
We provide accredited continuing education courses for design professionals covering wood flooring trends, species selection, installation techniques, and sustainability practices. These AIA/CES and IDCEC-approved programs include topics like environmental impacts of wood flooring, saw cut effects on performance, and commercial specification considerations.
